                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.

Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 88-A, L.P. (the "Registrant") is a limited
partnership organized in 1988 under the laws of the State of Delaware.

The Registrant  engages  primarily in oil and gas production in Texas and is not
involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas.

Note 2.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements as of March 31,
1996 of the Registrant  include all adjustments and accruals  consisting only of
normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation
of the results for the interim  period.  However,  these interim results are not
necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

The  financial  statements  should  be read in  conjunction  with the  financial
statements and the notes thereto  contained in the  Registrant's  Report on Form
10-K for the year ended  December 31,  1995,  as filed with the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission,  a copy of which is  available  upon request by writing to
Steven L. Beal, Senior Vice President,  303 West Wall, Suite 101, Midland, Texas
79701.

Item 2.         Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                  and Results of Operations(1)

The Registrant was formed August 31, 1988. On January 1, 1995,  Parker & Parsley
Development  L.P.  ("PPDLP"),  a Texas  limited  partnership,  became  the  sole
managing general partner of the Registrant, by acquiring the rights and assuming
the obligations of Parker & Parsley Development Company ("PPDC"). PPDLP acquired
PPDC's rights and  obligations as managing  general partner of the Registrant in
connection  with  the  merger  of  PPDC,  P&P  Producing,   Inc.  and  Spraberry
Development  Corporation  into MidPar  L.P.,  which  survived  the merger with a
change of name to PPDLP.  PPDLP has the power and  authority to manage,  control
and  administer  all  Registrant  affairs.   The  limited  partners  contributed
$5,611,000  representing 11,222 interests ($500 per interest) sold to a total of
525 limited partners.


                                        6

<PAGE>



Since its formation,  the Registrant  invested  $4,910,975 in various  prospects
that were  purchased in Texas.  At March 31, 1996,  the Registrant had completed
one  acquisition  of  producing  properties  involving  the  purchase of working
interest in 21  properties.  One  uneconomical  well was  plugged and  abandoned
during 1992. The Registrant  also  participated in the drilling of three oil and
gas wells of which two were completed as producers in 1989 and one in 1990.

Results of Operations

Revenues:

The  Registrant's  oil and gas revenues  decreased to $203,497 from $208,060 for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively,  a decrease of 2%.
The  decrease in revenues was  attributable  to a 15% decrease in barrels of oil
produced and sold and a slight decrease in mcf of gas produced and sold,  offset
by higher  average  prices  received  per barrel of oil and mcf of gas.  For the
three months ended March 31, 1996,  7,633  barrels of oil were sold  compared to
8,986 for the same period in 1995,  a decrease of 1,353  barrels.  For the three
months ended March 31, 1996,  27,921 mcf of gas were sold compared to 28,268 for
the  same  period  in  1995,  a  decrease  of 347 mcf.  Because  of the  decline
characteristics of the Registrant's oil and gas properties, management expects a
certain  amount of decline in  production  to continue  in the future  until the
Registrant's economically recoverable reserves are fully depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $1.53, or 9%, from $17.18
for the three  months ended March 31, 1995 to $18.71 for the same period in 1996
while the average price  received per mcf of gas increased 14% from $1.90 during
the three months ended March 31, 1995 to $2.17 in 1996. The market price for oil
and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a
certain  amount  of  volatility  to  continue  in the  foreseeable  future.  The
Registrant  may  therefore  sell its  future oil and gas  production  at average
prices  lower or higher than that  received  during the three months ended March
31, 1996.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses  decreased to $127,437 for the three months ended March
31,  1996 as compared  to  $192,459  for the same period in 1995,  a decrease of
$65,022, or 34%. This decrease was due to declines in production costs,  general
and administrative expenses ("G&A") and depletion.

Production  costs were  $82,391  for the three  months  ended March 31, 1996 and
$92,759 for the same period in 1995 resulting in a $10,368 decrease, or 11%. The
decrease was the result of a reduction in well repair and maintenance costs.

G&A's  components are  independent  accounting and  engineering  fees,  computer
services,  postage and managing  general partner  personnel  costs.  During this
period, G&A decreased,  in aggregate,  2% from $6,242 for the three months ended
March 31, 1995 to $6,105 for the same period in 1996. The Partnership  agreement
limits G&A to 3% of gross oil and gas revenues.

Depletion  was  $38,941 for the three months ended  March 31, 1996  compared  to
$93,458 for the same period in 1995. This represented a decrease in depletion of
$54,517,  or 58%,  primarily  attributable  to the adoption of the provisions of
Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  121, "Accounting  for  the
Impairment  of  Long-Lived  Assets and for Long-Lived  Assets to be Disposed Of"
effective  for the fourth  quarter of 1995 and the  reduction of net  depletable
basis resulting from the charge taken upon such adoption. Depletion was computed
property-by-property  utilizing  the  unit-of-production  method  based upon the
dominant mineral produced, generally oil. Oil production decreased 1,353 barrels
for the three  months  ended March 31, 1996 from the same period in 1995,  while
oil reserves of barrels were revised upward by 20,541 barrels, or 5%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash  provided by  operating  activities  decreased to $95,136 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996, a $30,816,  or 24%,  decrease  from the same period
ended March 31, 1995. This decrease was due to an increase in  expenditures  for
production  costs,  offset by an  increase  in oil and gas sales  receipts.  The
increase in production  cost  expenditures  was primarily due to additional well
repair and maintenance costs. The increase in oil and gas sales receipts was due
to higher average prices received for both oil and gas.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Registrant's principal investing activities for the three months ended March
31,  1995  included  $257 in  expenditures  related  to repair  and  maintenance
activity on various oil and gas properties.  There was no investing activity for
the three months ended March 31, 1996.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

Cash  was  sufficient  for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1996 to  cover
distributions  to the partners of $107,351 of which $106,610 was  distributed to
the limited  partners and $741 to the  managing  general  partner.  For the same
period  ended March 31,  1995,  cash was  sufficient  for  distributions  to the
partners of $113,410 of which $112,221 was  distributed to the limited  partners
and $1,189 to the managing general partner.

It is expected  that future net cash  provided by operating  activities  will be
sufficient for any capital expenditures and any distributions. As the production
from the properties declines, distributions are also expected to decrease.
